The children in the free kindergarten in West Fifty-fourth street received an object lesson in charity on Thanksgiving day. Most of these children are of poor parentage, some of them even destitute. A day or two before Thanksgiving day their teachers talked to them in a kindly way about the real purpose and spirit of the day. They had nurtured the idea that it was a feast day, and that they ought to have a nice dinner in the schooL The teachers told them that they could best manifest their thankful, ness for the blessings they enjoyed by contributing some little gift to make others,-poorer than themselves, happy. There was no urging that the children should give, but merely the suggestion. On Thanksgiving day an autumn festi val was held at the free kindergarten, and one of its most interesting and beau tiful features was the offeringfof gifts for the poor by these poor children. They marched in procession around a large table and deposited their little tokens. . One very small boy brought a big red apple, another a small paper of candy, still another a much worn picture book, and a fourth laid a set of jackstones on the table. But it was the offering of a poorly clad and pale faced little girl that touched the hearts of the observers most The democratic leaders at Washington j table a single snrio- of inninin .mm. are manifesting a desire to prevent the ! had doubtless been nlnMrnri frm STATU OFFICIALS. borernoi s.

"Representative Springer of Illinois, Senator Carlisle of Kentucky, Senator Palmer of Illinois and Representative O'Neil of Massachusetts are in favor of relegating the question to an interna tional congress which they propose to hold in Chicago in 1S63.' The object of the congress would lie to formulate, sub ject to the approval of the countries represented, a uniform monetary eys tem'and lis the relations which gold and silver should bear to each other. It cannot be denied that an international agreement would be the best settlement of the silver question but it s one thing ' to call a convention and quite another to get it to agree to anything that would be satisfactory to the free silver men. This effort to shelve the silver question will be disappointing to the advocates ot tree stiver who are entitled to expect something more definite from the dem ocracy, after all the denounciations thev have hciied on the party whom they charge with having demonetized silver in 1873. It is even now apparent that the scheme will meet with better oppo anion oy sonic of the most prominent democrats. Bland is said to oppose and delay m silver legislation and Rep- resentativc Corlbertson of Texas, has no hesitation m saying that the proposition " is a betrayal of the interests of the peo ple to me money power ot Wall street . Senator Chelton of Texas thinks tha' the only manly way for the democrats to deal with the silver question is to pass aii nhuuuted coinage law and put it to the test of experience. On the other hand Senator Sherman voices the " sentiments of many republicans when ne says: "ineonly way to settle the silver question is to settle it. Wo have to . face it and any bills proposing to relegate . . . . . n. mi international congress is a sub ; terfuge designed to keep it out of the . coming campaign. Pass a free coinaee v:n m . . . -- uumnu seua it to the preeident and if ne vetoes it let him take the responsi- , oincy, mis would unquestionably be . 4he, manlier course to adopt but it won't be adopted. Hill said so a few davs ago -and Hill knows.. Representative Holm an has intro--duced a bill in Congress for a general forfeiture of all grants of .land made to aid in the construction of a railroad op posite to and coterminous with the por tiou of any such railroad not constructed and completed within the time specified in the act for the construction and coru . pletion of ench road. It is thought possible that the bill may pass both .'bouses and the railroad agents and at "ortieys. are correspondingly ' worried yii-i uie flintier. An effort will be made during lhe - present congress to do away with the free system in federal offices and to place deputy marshals and other court officials n a salary. It is held that the fee system results in much hardships through these officials straining the law for the purpose of making cases "in the fully nurtured home plant. There were other more pretentions and valuable gifts, and all were gathered up and dis tributed among the poor patients in the various city hospitals. New York Times. The Alligator Played 'Possum. - An alligator that played 'possum came near doing damage to some young, men near Millen Monday. Van Tyler, of this place, together with Messrs. Apple white and DeLoach, of Millen, had been out to the river hunting. They had killed a 'gator about seven feet long, and" putting him in the wagon were bringing him to the town. Van, who was sitting near the middle of the wagon, began to triumph over his fallen enemy by con temptuously kicking him in the side. Then a thing happened that was done so quick the boys can't explain it. There was a rush, a snap, a yell, and Van went out the wagon head foremost, and leav ing, as a souvenir a part of his pants hanging on the 'gator's teeth. The other boys woke no to iha im portance of hasty action, but DeLoach took a Uttle too much time in getting ready for an old fashioned headfore most diye into a sand bed, hence he struck the ground minus a shoo heel. which his. 'gatorship gratefully swal lowed and slyly wunk' his eye as if he enjoyed a lively time . himself. The boys rallied from their stampede, and advancing with guns put an end to their foe.

A man fell against the cask and started it rolling. A second later it was making great, bonnds through the air and covering twenty feet of street at a single flight. People seeing the danger shouted to those down the street to get out of the way. Broadway was eleared at a single bound, and the cask narrowly missed crushing a laundry wagon into splinters. On it went at a Palo Alto speed, scattering-people right and left. A Union street cable car was stopped in time to prevent a collision. The running cask evidently meant mischief, -and, ap parently to prove the superiority of wine over water, it headed for Dr Cogswell's fountain on Kearny street and Mont gomery avenue. . A bundle that a frightened pedestrian dropped turned the cask aside so that it barely missed the cold water resort; j However,.it tcok its revenge bv smash ing a small fruit stand all to pieces, scat- renng tne rruit in every -direction. . The lower deck of a bootblack's stand was carried away, and a cigar, stand got a" blow, that rattled down the boxes on the shelves., ' . : At last the cask was stopped near Jackson street by colliding with a hitch ing post. The bootblack iminedia.tlv claimed the cask for the damage to his' stana. ine owner or the cask stood at the top of the hill and wisely decided that it was better to stay where he was1 than to venture among those whose' places had been wrecked.

What is to be done when a tiah which ought not to be caught, and which one does not wiuh to catch, perversely insists npon being captured whether or no, and ftctnally forces itself into one's posses sion? That was the question that stared Mr. J. D. Gregory, of Quebec, full in the face when he was fishing for trout at Tadousac one fine dav of the nasi KPtaartfi ' The trout were lawful game, but' salmon; iu iuo same waters, rorbidden fruit. It J was then with a sigh of sincere and nn- leigned relief that the angler saw a hooked salmon after a bit of magnificent play break away with the hook and parted leader. : Bnt satisfaction was changed to dis may when the leaping fish came with one grand vault after another directly for the boat, and at last lay stunned and helpless in the canoe. Mr. Gregory promptly solved the problem by regain ing his fly and assisting the fish 'back into its element, there, like the patriotic orator, to sink or swim, live or die, sur vive or perish.
